Zoo Negara

A friend invited us to go to the National Park of Malaysia (Zoo Negara) last Sunday. Like us, they also have a toddler who's getting curious about animals. We all felt it was time to introduce our kiddos to the live animals.

We left our apartment at 11AM. It was just a short ride, probably 15 minutes more or less. I never expected the place to be crowded but when we arrived there was a line at the ticket counter. Mostly families with little tykes.

We paid an entrance fee of RM15/adult and the kids were free.

Again I was surprised that the place is huge. We didn't even get to check the savannah walk, the reptiles, and the aviary part.

After almost two hours inside, we were tired already. It was also a very hot day so we were all covered with sweats :) EJ even slept before we could go out of there.

Here are some pics taken inside.









That's EJ's girlfriend. Hehehe. At the start of our trip both kids were active. If they were not running, they we're walking slowly holding hands! Hahaha. We had a good laugh out of them.

After the zoo, our friends took us somewhere in Petaling Jaya for a very late lunch. It was a long drive from Zoo Negara but it was worth it. As promised, the food was great. I was too hungry to take photos of the food. Imagine it was already 3:30PM when started eating :)

It was an exhausting day but we all had a fantastic time.

No, we didn't because the first one started early then the next one was too late for us. Sayang nga eh..:)

Pag zoo trip kelangan talaga andun na morning palang para ma-enjoy ng mga magulang. Hahaha! Aw, ano ba. Hehehe! Tapos dapat dala ng mga sapin and extra shirts.

Tama ka nga, ang init ngayon dito. Di ko mawari. Pero uulan sa hapon, tapos biglang init na naman. Is it the same in MY?

That looks like a great zoo. So many great animals.

Sadly, the giraffe at Manila Zoo died so Yohan hasn't seen a real giraffe yet.

Rachel - I've never been to Manila Zoo. I guess having lived in Manila, I took it for granted. But we've been to Subic Zoo (no giraffe though) for EJ, of course :)
